American Idol...False Rocker...Gone!

As I have said before....I cannot believe it is true, but I do watch American Idol. I actually think it is very entertaining.

Last night resulted in four more "wanna-be's" leaving the show. One of the guys who was asked to leave was no surprise. The guy who was a self-proclaimed "Rocker". From the start of the tryouts he had the long hair, the bandanna, knew the words to rock songs and even proclaimed himself to be a "Rocker". Only one problem....no one else thought he was a true Rocker. (Whatever that is...) Randy, Paula and more specifically Simon thought he was a poser trying to be the next Daughtry or some other Rocker.

Asked why he thought this guy did not get the votes, Simon basically said, "He wants to be something he is not and America did not think he was authentic in his Rocker image."

In my humble and unprofessional opinion, I think Simon was right. The guy looked like a Rocker.....but he was not. His stated musical dreams did not match who he really is on the inside and it showed in his performances.

Where do heart felt and passionate dreams come from? How do we know that they match who God created us to be and once we achieve a stated dream....will we be fulfilled in our soul?

I believe we have many people living their lives chasing a dream that was placed in their heart from a well meaning parent, teacher, culture or something else. However, it is not a dream that wells up from the center of the person's soul. A Close Encounter with Jesus helps us to know who we really are and what dream is it that we personally should be living daily in pursuit of!

Bring a friend this Sunday as we learn about how a Close Encounter with Jesus can help us to live our dreams and accomplish the desires of our heart! Remember, we need as many CSF Players to attend our 9am or noon service.

Today's Bible Reading: I guess because it is a leap-year our guide did not have a Feb 29th in it. I suggest catching up on a day you missed earlier!
